Curmudgeon Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Waited 50 years for Hughes to come along. Not up for trading him regardless of the return. What the hell is the point of drafting super-talented players only to turn them into trade fodder? Like it or not, Hughes is a big part of this team's emerging identity and will be a quiet leader going forward. We'll know more after July 15th or so, but let's hold off on trading him until we see how next year's team lines up. Even then, I'd give the idea of a trade an emphatic no. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.I.A.H.N Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Well, first of all, they are in like 4th or 5th place, so they are doing nothing like that this year, why mess with something that is not broken............ But since I deal in fantasy I think, It would be Severson for cap, Nemec, and a 1st 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 We finally got ourselves a Hughes after 50 years and now they want to take him? That said, I would listen. The player I most liken Hughes to if he achieves his potential is Phil Housley...and even then without the goal scoring. Phil Housley was a Hall of Famer, but largely offensively minded...and in a very long career he only played more than 7 playoff games in a single year twice. Once in his rookie year and then when Washington went to the final and he was getting up there in age and was not effective at all in terms of scoring in those playoffs. Housley's teams enjoyed very little playoff success. And there's Paul Coffey, also largely offensively minded...who Scotty Bowman traded away as quickly as he could in both Pittsburgh and Detroit. The point is, I guess, that Quinn Hughes is a very rare talent. But I would listen to see if New Jersey actually offers a package that is more likely to lead to a Cup in five years or so. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 1 hour ago, DeNiro said: Well yea and Luke Hughes is a left side D too. They really don’t have any need for him this season. However Graves and Severson are both pending UFA’s and maybe they don’t want to pay them what they’re asking. I would imagine Severson would be coming back in a hypothetical trade for cap purposes. For next season though: Hughes Hamilton Siegenthaler Marino Hughes Smith Well within 2-3 years you hope that Luke is better than Siegenthaler who isn’t a high end top 4 guy. Being set on the left side isn’t exactly a bad thing. Quinn and Hamilton on a PP unit would be ridiculously good. No way to plan for that as the opposition. Quinn can be defended by backing off him as he doesn’t really have a big shot to worry about. You just defend his passing lanes and don’t let him get behind you. Hamilton has a big shot but isn’t as mobile like Quinn, so the opposition can defend by pressuring him. Combine the two on the same unit and both get more looks and one of the best PPs in the league for years. If you back off into a box, Hamilton can tee it up. If you pressure, it gets passed off to the other guy who suddenly has passing lanes open and can get behind you. Jersey doesn’t “need” Quinn to be a playoff team… they could sure benefit by having him to be a consistent contender. They are a better team for the next 2-4 years by making a deal like this. Having said that, I do see them trying their luck as is this season in the playoffs to se how they stack up before going to finding how to improve their lineup.

We're terrible because we ice a team clueless guys who make way too much. Hughes is +9 on a dreadful team. I really doubt he's the reason why we're terrible. Maybe move out some of the guys who are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right trade could turn this franchise around. Hughes is the real deal, but the right package could be huge. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3aL Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 2 hours ago, Sedin Brothers said: https://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Eklund/Boeser-Trade-coming-in-days-NJ-and-Q-Hughes-e3-Tues-Buzz/1/120545 This is more for the discussion than the source. As a big time Devils fan (who appreciates the Sedin), I'd be willing to give Nemec, Mercer and a first. I think that's fair for both sides. thoughts? Would have to be a 4 piece deal at minimum in my opinion. 1st isn’t of much reward from NJ at this point Mercer is a nice piece but it’s not clear if he can actually be a top 6 C or a Winger or a 3C. Nemec is nice but he’s completely unproven and don’t know what level of dman he will be in the NHL. He looks like he’s having a good year in the AHL but he’s not anything like Hughes in breakout / offensive NHL impact. Hughes is a complete proven superstar and at his age he holds immense value. I think I would need: Mercer Nemec Mukhamadullin 1st but even then I’m worried we could lose the deal and about the effect it would have on petey resigning. Quinn Hughes isn’t just one of my favorite players we’ve ever had. But he was my most celebrated / ecstatic draft pick I’ve ever had the pleasure of following pre draft and watching and anticipating on draft day. I never thought he’d slide to us especially with Detroit picking before us and all the connections The only way we move him is if it’s a complete over payment. A premium 4 piece deal. And even with that deal I’m still very unsure. But NJ has a lot of pieces they could part with to make a deal to overpay if they wanted. Whether it would be smart for either side would depend on so many variables. a massive Hughes trade to me would cement a demko trade and a full rebuild of us being a bottom feeder next season too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 The triple Hughes bros show would be a huge attraction (and $ maker for the owner), but what they really need is a RW like Timo Meier. The way he plays the game, along with his veteran leadership, Timo adds way more value to the team than Quinn. That is why Meier (26yrs) is likely the most sought after TDL addition this year. Jersey is sitting in the perfect place to make this trade as they have the assets and the $. They have 8 players that are approaching UFA (+20m), who they can trade at TDL, re-sign, or simply let them walk. The most ridiculous part of it all, is that they still have a well-rounded group of players in their prospect pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfor42 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 This speculation is BS. The narrative is: NJ has 2 Hughes. Therefore they must want the 3rd. Canucks will trade QH cuz they're a mess and desperate. Nope. Not gonna happen. /thread. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
